Cang'er City Police Station.
Police center operator Huang Liting, who was supposed to go home from get off work, was suddenly notified by her superiors to go to the conference room.
In the conference room, Huang Liting met two senior police officers, Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei.
The faces of these two people were extremely bad at this moment.
Zhang Donglei was holding a phone in his hand and was dialing a number continuously. He looked very anxious, but the call never got through.
"Team Lei, I've been calling for a while but no one has answered the phone. Why don't you directly notify the local police in Zhongzhou and ask them to protect Zhang Wen!"
Lei Ming put his hands on his hips, frowned and rolled his eyes, "How can you tell the police in Zhongzhou about something without any evidence?"
Zhang Donglei was silent for a moment, "Team Lei, are we protecting the trafficker's daughter now?"
Lei Ming turned around and spoke to Zhang Donglei word for word: "Old Zhang, until we find effective evidence of Zhang Wen's crime, she is also a legitimate citizen and is within our protection scope."
Seeing Huang Liting coming over at this time, Lei Ming turned to her and said, "Hello, I'm Lei Ming, the criminal investigation captain of the city bureau. I asked you to come here to understand some of the situation."
Huang Liting immediately asked: "Is that the police call today?"
Lei Ming nodded and said, "Yes, come and sit down and talk."
As Lei Ming took out a file, Huang Liting glanced at it and found that it was actually her own personal file!
Huang Liting suddenly asked uneasily: "Team Lei, why are you investigating me? Where did I make a mistake?"
Lei Ming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you're right, but... well, have you ever been trafficked?"
Huang Liting's face suddenly panicked, and she nodded and said, "Yes, I was abducted and trafficked to Cang'er City when I was very young."
"Do you still remember the traffickers who abducted you?"
"I don't remember this, I was still very young at the time."
"When you were trafficked, did you meet other people of your age who were trafficked?"
"Yes, there are many, there must be dozens of them, but I don't even remember them, I only remember a few nicknames."
"Tell me."
"The ones that impressed me the most were one named Honghong, who had red hair, and one named Tianyang, and another named Chengcheng. Chengcheng was the best, but he always cried, so he was always beaten by traffickers. There is also one named Mavericks, that’s all, I really can’t remember the others.”
Lei Ming took the notebook full of traces of time found in the basement of Mengdongfang Villa and compared it with the contents recorded on it, and found that they all matched!
At this time, Zhang Donglei, who was holding a landline phone and making calls next to him, turned to Huang Liting and asked: "With your status, how did you pass the political science examination when you took the police station exam?"
"My adoptive parents were very good to me and found someone to apply for a local household registration for me. That was more than ten years ago. At that time, household registration management was not as strict as it is now. Besides buying me from a trafficker, I violated the law. The law, my adoptive father and mother have no other stains."
Lei Ming nodded and asked, "Okay, Li Ting, I'm not here to check on you today, so don't be nervous."
Next, Lei Ming told Huang Liting about Zhang Hui's identity.
After hearing this, Huang Liting became completely lost. "Then, that trafficker is dead? Is he the one who called me today?"
She seemed to feel very cold, stretched out her arms to hug herself, and said to herself: "No wonder, no wonder he knows my nickname, I was still distracted because of this!"
Lei Ming patted Huang Liting's shoulder to express comfort and asked: "Well, Liting, the victim was cut into forty-seven pieces all over his body. It may be a coincidence, which happens to correspond to the forty-seven abducted children. Please think about it. In your previous experience, have you ever met anyone who expressed curiosity about your past trafficking experience?"
"In other words, has anyone ever asked you something like whether you are willing to seek revenge from the trafficker who abducted you?"
Huang Liting looked at Lei Ming with fear in her eyes, and nodded slowly, "It didn't happen in reality, but it happened once in my dream, but I couldn't see the man's face. I only knew that he was dressed in white and had a very-looking person on his shoulder. Plain white handbag..."
Zhang Donglei asked: "So, you expressed to that person that you are willing to seek revenge from human traffickers?"
At this time, Huang Liting's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and she said sternly: "That human trafficker, I can't wait to give him a knife!"
"Ahem!"
Lei Ming coughed twice and asked, "How did you answer that person at that time?"
Huang Liting's expression returned to its original state, "Just like I did just now, that's how I responded to him. The original words were -"
"I can't wait to give him a knife!"
Lei Ming asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that your adoptive father and mother are very good to you?"
"It has nothing to do with my adoptive father and adoptive mother. Zhang Hui has a man who is worse than a beast..."
Huang Liting's eyes immediately turned red. She lowered her head and shed two lines of hot tears.
Lei Ming and Zhang Donglei both understood and suppressed the anger in their hearts. Lei Ming lowered his head and said apologetically: "Sorry..."
Zhang Donglei said comfortingly: "Li Ting, it's not your fault for this -"
Suddenly, his hand holding the landline receiver trembled violently, and he said excitedly: "Team Lei, Zhang Wen's mobile phone has been connected!"
"Oh my god you finally answered the phone!"
...
Zhongzhou.
At 7:59, Yang Ning returned to his store.
Compared to when he left, the store had changed drastically.
The store with the door facing east is divided into north and south sides, with four rows of square shelves neatly arranged on each side.
In the middle of the shelves on both sides is a long sitting desk. The carpet has been laid under the desk. A futon has been laid out on the main seat inside, and two futons have been placed on the guest seat outside.
Yang Ning took a look at it, nodded and said, "Not bad."
Suddenly there was a cheerful jumping sound in the shop, which was empty except for himself.
After tying the wind chime to the door of the store, Yang Ning came to sit down cross-legged on the futon at the head table. He thought for a moment and said, "Yamei, come here."
Opposite the desk, a little girl with a tilted head and two flowers on her head slowly appeared.
Yang Ning: "Put your head straight!"
The girl did as she was told, but after holding her for a long time, she finally pointed the back of her head towards Yang Ning and asked in a milky voice, "Does this mean that I have straightened her up?"
Yang Ning: "Is this how I usually teach you? How many times have I told you to look at people with your eyes."
The girl said pitifully: "Today I just pointed my eyes at someone, and it seemed that I scared that person..."
Yang Ning covered her forehead and said helplessly: "Don't take your head off your neck in the future!"
The girl turned her head back and said with a milky voice: "I didn't take it, it fell by itself."
Yang Ning: "..."
He looked up and looked outside the store and said, "Okay, you go and play."
"oh......"
The girl nodded, her body gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely.
Yang Ning took out a few things from his bag and put them on the table, two candles, a photo, a carving knife, a human-shaped wood carving, and a few crayons.
After lighting the candle, Yang Ning picked up a carving knife and randomly carved out a few wood chips on the wood carving, and a lifelike prototype of a human face immediately appeared.
After about a few minutes, Zhang Wen appeared with a haggard face.
As soon as she entered Yang Ning's shop, the string of wind chimes hanging around her mouth began to jingle.
At first hearing the sound of wind chimes, Zhang Wen felt a little better.
After looking around at the decorations in the store, she said in surprise to Yang Ning, who was sitting cross-legged behind the desk: "Master Yang moves very quickly, isn't he? Is the decoration ready?"
Yang Ning pointed to the two guest futons opposite the desk in front of her and said, "Come and sit."
Zhang Wen stepped forward, took off her shoes by the carpet, and knelt down opposite Yang Ning.
She glanced at the desk and saw a photo covered on the desk and the doll that Yang Ning was carving in her hand.
Before she could speak, Yang Ning said: "Mobile phone."
"Um?"
Zhang Wen asked in confusion: "Mobile phone? Mine?"
Yang Ning kept carving the dolls on her hands and nodded: "Yes."
Zhang Wen immediately took out a mobile phone from the Xiaonai bag she carried with her. There was nothing unusual about it.
Yang Ning: "Another one."
Zhang Wen's expression changed slightly, "How did you know that I have two mobile phones?"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "Because, someone is calling you all the time."
Zhang Wen didn't believe it. She took out another mobile phone and found that someone was actually calling her, and there were already dozens of missed calls!
"Huh? How come I never noticed?"
Yang Ning was carving the doll with a smile on her face but said nothing.
Looking at the incoming call, Zhang Wen pressed the answer button, "Hello?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very urgent: "Team Lei, Zhang Wen's cell phone has been connected!"
"Oh my god you finally answered the phone!"
"Who are you?"
"This is Cang'er police. My name is Zhang Donglei. I'm calling you to remind you of something very important!"
"W-what's the matter?"
"Stay away from a person named Yang Ning. That person is very dangerous! Remember, it is very dangerous!"
"Stay away from him!"
"Stay away from him!"
"Stay away from him!"
Zhang Wen looked at Yang Ning in front of her and was suddenly startled, bang!
Her hand trembled and her phone fell on the table between her and Yang Ning!
At this time, the urgent voice on the phone was still ringing——
"He knows everything your father Zhang Hui has done. Now that your whole family is dead, you are the only one left!"
